What's it like being a software developer over the age of 50? Well, how can I put this? Have you seen the movie Logan's Run..?

@jasongorman Myth:

"Old programmers are afraid of change."

Empirical Fact:

"Old programmers have experienced more changes than you've had hot breakfasts, and anyone who couldn't handle change has washed out long before their 50s.

"Survival biases towards embracing change, not avoiding it."

@jasongorman As the (very old) joke goes...

“I decided to become the change I wanted to see in the world. I'm a quarter and two dimes along the way there.”
